Deep,
You amaze me...
Do you consider a 4.5% interest rate on a loan as a "supersweet" deal?
You have just admitted that you are not concerned about the dilution if the stock goes up. And that is about the only time the lenders get that "supersweet" deal.
If the stock does not go up sufficiently, all they get is a 4.5% interest rate on the loan but that part is at least guaranteed by the company.
I would love to get loans available to me at 4.5% interest!
You say that the "bad and extremely risky outcome" is if the stock does not go up sufficiently.
What is so "extremely risky" about this loan?
Please explain.
It is all being put to use in ways that should repay the loan and the interest with extra profit left over.
Sure the exploration and proving activities carry some risk, but that is what this company does, and that is what investors are expecting the company to do. Does the fact that they have been very successful in these kind of endeavors (exploration and proving) in the past and the very solid case for handsome profits from the Pirquitas mine, carry no weight with you?
As for being "with Silverwriter, Appalachianassets, hathlein, and others": You damage your case.
Silverwriter would be a plus, Appalachianassets would be a bad negative and hathlein should not even be mentioned.
